Giesse, part of Quanex, has announced achieving the highest level of corrosion resistance for its concealed hinges C.H.I.C. 100.
Thanks to the new ShieldMax5 coating, the hardware reached the top class 5 (480 hours in a salt spray test) according to EN 1670. It also endured over 1000 hours in salt spray during more demanding internal tests.
The CHIC concealed hinges are designed for aluminium windows with a minimalist aesthetic. They integrate fully into the profile, ensuring a neat appearance and easy installation. The CHIC 100 model is suitable for turn and tilt-and-turn windows with Euro-groove profiles, supports up to 100 kg, and opens to 180°.
With ShieldMax5 technology, the hinges are protected from salt air, tropical climates, and urban pollution. The coating preserves both the functionality and the aesthetics of the hardware even under extreme conditions.
The CHIC concealed hinge range offers a modern look, wide opening angles, and quick installation.
